Can BAO Health find a donor for me?

No. BAO Health does not find or provide donors for patients without one. You will need your own potential living donor to pursue the living-donor transplant pathway we support. For existing patient–donor pairs, we can help explore paired kidney exchange with other pairs to seek a more suitable match, subject to clinical assessment.

Can I start my assessment before travelling to Türkiye?

You can contact us from home to discuss your situation and the information needed for an initial medical review. The team will explain which consultations can take place remotely and which assessments require an in-person visit.

What happens after I return to my country?

Before you leave, your treating team sets out your follow-up plan. BAO Health helps coordinate continuing contact, requested reviews and communication with your local clinicians where appropriate. Remote consultations may be part of that ongoing support.

How do I take the first step?

Email us or start a WhatsApp conversation. Introduce yourself and tell us what kind of guidance you need. The team will explain the next steps and how to share any requested medical information.
